Amp to compliment Sonic Frontiers pre??

Hello

So I am trying out a buddy's Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 pre...kinda liking it alot with the Epos M5i's I have...just have to find the right tube match...I bought a Brimar CV4024 this morning so maybe that'll be the ticket!!

But, in the mean time, can anyone recommend an amp (4ohm capable) to go with the pre?? I am looking for warm, full bodied, maybe rolled off on the top...something to offset the top end brightness of the Epos but still bring out it's beautiful mids!!

Would something like a B&K ST-140 work?? Suggestions?? Comments??

I borrowed his Mitsubishi DA-A10DC which seems to be working good but could have a nicer bottom end LOL!!

Thanks kindly!!!

Actually the tube that was in there was an Amperex 6DJ8 A frame...not my cup of tea LOL!!

I put in a Sylvania for now...better but I'm hoping for more of that warm midrange bloom and big bottom end...works well for lower volume listening that I do quite often...that's when I found that Brimar 4024...hopefully that is close...if not then I can search out a Mullard!!

And I thought that B&K was rated at 105wpc into 4?? I don't know...is it going to be an improvement over the Mitsu??

My other option was to go back and buy a Jolida 1501RC...had one a few years ago...sold it and regretted it ever since!!!

Hey Jim!!!

Ya I know the two tubes are not interchangeable but inside the pre is a jumper point where you can move to be able to take either tube!!!

It's kind of a sweet setup so one is not limited to a certain variety :)
